Protests, a lottery and American heroes

Jay Cost, one of the best analysts in the country, has a regular over at Weekly Standard. (Jay was the only one to know absolutely Bush had won due to the surveying system he had set up in various counties around the country. It was amazing.)  Here's a taste, but read the whole thing, as it's good news and very interesting. Weekly Standard:

2. Latest Sign of the Dempocalypse.  The latest sign comes from CBS News, whose new poll finds independent voters breaking to the GOP by a jaw-dropping 44-24 margin.  Looking over the polls in the RealClearPolitics generic ballot average, this is where the independent vote currently stands:

  Did you read this? Soros: I can't stop a Republican avalanche. Implied: I could've stopped a mini one with all the cheating we're planning on doing, but an avalanche. Oy. This is beyond even my most powerful mendacious abilities. 
  Get out in the streets and protest on your own two feet while you can! 
  Next time one of those rummies complains that you're stupid because you think there will be death panels in the new health care bill, just tell 'em, hey, I'm talking about the foot amputation panels. It's cheaper, ya know. Daily Caller:

This Saturday, one of Greece’s most respected newspapers, To Vima, reported that the nation’s largest government health insurance provider would no longer pay for special footwear for diabetes patients.  Amputation is cheaper, says the Benefits Division of the state insurance provider.

  Expect a Greek tea party soon. 
  Enter the lottery! Win a free trip! To the White House! This is the current state of the office of the presidency of the United States! How low can we go! Washington Examiner!

Organizing for America, the permanent incarnation of the Obama presidential campaign, has a new offer to its members: send money now and be automatically registered for a chance to win a trip to meet Barack Obama.

Do as we scream for you to do, not as we do! Because we are the anointed and YOU are fat! See The One consume fatty junk food here! MMM mmm mmm, Barack Obama!
  The president an empty suit? NO! Heartache!

If the President has anything in his core around which he can build an agenda, we will soon see it. Republicans are very likely to take the House and may take the Senate. In 1994 Bill Clinton "triangulated" between the new Republican majorities and his Democratic allies in Congress. His only guiding principle was to keep himself in office. Can Obama do the same after next January? It is to his credit that he doesn't have the conman heart that Clinton had. But what does he have? Only a history of being liked. I think our President is an empty suit. We are likely to find out if I am right.

Politico says: "As Axelrod's colorless face attests: when you've lost Bob Schieffer, you've seriously lost your way."
  Did you catch the uprising in Israel against Obama? Shoe shown to the face is a sign of disrespect and this is something Obama did to the Israelis months ago, had a phone conversation with an Israeli showing his shoes to the camera. Great respect shown to the Oval Office too, bozo.
  Did you know there is an American hero down there in Chile breaking those miners out in Chile several months before they were expecting? Pretty scarce news. This is from a Canadian newspaper, the Vancouver Sun. Hard to find in American (or other) newspapers. Only all the bad stuff they can dig up.

Chileans have found a new hero in American Jeff Heart, the drill operator who has spent weeks drilling down to where 33 miners have been trapped deep underground for more than two months.

  This is the American spirit. This is why we will not let them beat us in DC. We are not Greeks. We are not Europeans. We are not Frenchmen. We are Americans.
  And we don't give up the ship!
